Kids is the forty-fifth episode of the first season of Bluey.

Synopsis

A quick trip to the shops proves tricky for Dad, when Bingo and Bluey want to play a game of 'Kids'. Now Bluey is Mum, Bingo's her baby and for Dad however, he is a very naughty boy.

Episode Recap

Warning Spoilers! ->

Best bits: Everyone, even the extras, staying in character the whole time.

Life lesson: Parents don’t (say they) have favorites, and model the skills you’d like your children to have.

Bandit is on the way to the supermarket with Bluey and Bingo when the discussion starts on “who’s the favorite?” to which Dad replies that parents don’t have favorites, even if they can kick their own butts.

The girls decide to play “Kids” which consists of Bluey being as 'Mum', Bingo reprising her role as “Snowdrop” the toddler (from The Zoo) and Dad playing “Diddums” the older brother.

As they dash around the supermarket, “Diddums” filling his kid-sized trolley with vegetables and “Mum” filling her trolley with whatever cute little “Snowdrop” wants, they come across Bandits mate Rocko who seamlessly joins in the game.

Snowdrop throws some chips on the floor and blames Diddums. Mum Bluey tells him that he is a “very naughty boy”, to which Diddums decides to live up to. He steals the trolley and fills it with wholefoods like flaxseed, psyllium and sugarfree chocolate.

Mum Bluey threatens Diddums with “1, 2, 2 and a half.....” before dragging him off to time out on a toilet paper chair.

As Diddums protests at the unfairness of his treatment as opposed to “darling” Snowdrops, Mum Bluey blurts out that it’s because Snowdrop is her favorite!

Diddums sulks over to the time out chair and Snowdrop finally shows her true colours to her mum by throwing an epic cheeky toddler fit.

Mum Bluey realizes she’s broken the cardinal rule of parenting: no favorites. She apologizes to Diddums for mistreating him and doubting him, but they make up - I’m convinced this has come about due to Bandit and Chilli’s excellent modelling that it’s ok to admit you’re wrong and say sorry to your kids. #dadoftheyear

As Diddums does the shopping ‘for real life’, Mum Bluey disciplines naughty toddler Snowdrop.

On their way through the checkout Mum Bluey accidentally calls Diddums her favorite, before correcting herself to say that BOTH of her children are her favorites (despite Snowdrop rowing a celery boat down the conveyor belt).

Trivia

  • The supermarket Bluey, Bingo and Bandit go to closely resembles Woolworths, a popular shop in Australia.
